Hi! I’m a fairly new chicken owner. Still figuring out things and learning more constantly. I do have one chicken that is showing some broody behavior (i have no roosters because they are illegal where i live) She’s been laying in her egg laying box for 2 days now and she isn’t laying on any...
I hatched 6 eggs, the 7th one had a peak deformity and I just realized another one of the quails has an issue. He or she can’t keep a balanced head. It still eats and drinks when it can but it has no control of its head. It’s very sad to see. That’s why I put it back in the incubator by itself...
For some context, my blind hen (5.5 yrs) mostly stays indoors in this wide room without a door which also has an adjoined bathroom. Today some people came to clean said bathroom and used industrial cleaners. I thought they came to fix the pipe so wasn't worried and thought my mother would take...
One of our baby chicks just hatched and I noticed something hanging out of it. It looks like the chick didn’t absorb all of the yolk or something all the way. With the other 6 that hatched I’ve not seen this. 1 still had the membrane stuck from the shell and I just let that fall off on it’s on...

So I came back from a 3 day 4hour away soccer tournament of mine, and found 5 chicks (I just let all the chicks out) and 4 of my hens dead. All the hens bodies except one of the hens wings were gone. And all the chick bodies were there except two of them had their heads ripped off, and the other...
Four ducklings wandered into my yard yesterday morning. Just tonight, two of them died. We found the first lying dead. We thought maybe it had snapped it’s neck because they were laying at an odd angle. However, at 3am (2 hours later), another one was acting oddly. It seemed like the poor little...
